Cartridges you just hate

[CoElkHunter]

I'm surprised most recently when I see .264 WM on the shelf of most gun shops I go into these days.

I would like to have a .264WM eventually, but it seems a larger bore rifle always seems to pop up and pique my interest. It's the "Siren's Song" syndrome, beckoning hapless big bore enthusiasts to the precipice of doom. LOL

Why bother with a .264 WM when they make a 6.5-300 Weatherby now???



Big Weatherby fanboy here...

You should have built a rifle in that wildcat cartridge in the mid ‘60s. You’d have been the only one in Georgia with one. LOL
That's from my 1971 Sierra reloading manual.

Plenty of ammo around now. Ditch the Manbun and get a proper .264 WINCHESTER MAGNUM! LOL

@CoElkHunter
The beauty of the 264 win mag is if'n y'all can't find brass just grab some horrible 338 mag brass and neck it down to a useful cartridge.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Bob,
I agree.

For my two cents, the only thing wrong with the .338 WM cartridge is that it can't hold enough powder to drive a larger bullet anywhere near the velocity that it should.

It suffering from the same anemia that some 35 caliber cartridges suffer from.

Just kidding, just kidding..... ;-)

30-30 when I can get a .308 in a lever action.
